Is Kevin Durand lining up as The Walking Dead’s Negan?

This one is getting some legs, guys…

Kevin Durand, who played Blob in X-Men: The Last Stand and is currently doing the press rounds for The Strain in which he plays Vasiliy Fet,  has been talking about more genre-specific roles that might be coming up in the actor’s future.

And then he dropped the epic bombshell: “I’ve had a lot of people with The Walking Dead talk to me, mentioned that they see me for a character named “Negan,” but I haven’t read the comic.”

Any comic fans will know that Negan is one of the main – and still ongoing – villains in The Walking Dead comics. He’s a really nasty piece of work and has been rumoured to be coming up in the series for a while now (here)… this looks like it’s confirming what we’re hearing. Oh, and he’s a potentially great choice.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
